About the Polo 1.0 TSI 95

The 2022 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,165 kg with 94 bhp, which works out at 81 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.77 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,861st quickest to 60 mph, and the 13th quickest of the 16 Volkswagens here. Its 78.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
